The 4Bc switchboard lit up this afternoon with listeners sharing their favourite Aussie sayings and phrases.

It follows a Daily Mail report in the UK that there are some old sayings at risk of never being uttered again.

Listeners got on board, and shared their phrases with Sofie Formica:

• Flash in the pan
• Going to see a man about a dog
• Bob’s your uncle
• A stitch in time saves nine
• Keen as mustard
• Tickety-boo
• Pip pip
• Dead as a door nail
• And a Ray Hadley favourite – playing up like a second hand lawn mower!
